Unit Title:Probability Grade Level(s): 9-12 Subject/Topic Area(s): Statistics Key Words: Expected Value, Random Variable, Probability Distribution Designed by: Sarah Fredrick Time Frame: School District: RSU 9 School:
Brief Summary of Unit
During this unit the class will be looking at the probability distribution and expected value. There will be an emphasize on how the two relate to each other. Some of the key things that students will learn is the definitions of random variable, expected value, and standard normal curve. Students will also know the parts of the probability distribution such as the mean, median, standard deviation, and standard error. Students will learn how to calculate the expected value and will calculate the probability of an event occurring.The students will look where the probability distribution shows up in students' everyday lives outside of the classroom. Most importantly the class will be looking at the way probability impacts decision making and how it can be used in problem solving. The unit will end by the students working in groups to create a presentation that sums up how probability impacts problem solving and decision making by using it in a real world example.
